It’s so true. Alcoholism and drug abuse seem so prevalent in rural communities. Even food healthy food options are limited. I’d imagine they would get serious health issues more quickly.
Out of the half a million people bringing in a year but not a single doctor or a nurse. I guess fast food workers, doordash delivery people, security guards, uber and truck drivers are more needed.
@@dn6127 In my opinion they have stopped doing enough to make sure that the immigrants are qualified.

I’ve had immigrant doctors. On average, not as knowledgeable as Canadian doctors in my experience. Had a Nigerian doctor give me a prescription for stomach worm medicine for a yeast infection. I went to 3 pharmacies until I found a pharmacist who knew what the medication was. He was Nigerian as well and said the medication and worms don’t exist in Canada.
@@dn6127 No they don't make it any harder than they made it for the countless doctors and nurses they just got rid of because they refused the experimental jab.

So, as a Canadian physician who works in the US, I have some things to say. You could pay more to have rural areas covered, but you really don’t. Need coverage where people don’t wanna go? Gotta pay more, just how it is. In the US we pay locums flights, hotel costs and a higher amount. I was looking into doing this in Canada and the compensation is abysmal. Some won’t pay enough to cover flight costs, some won’t cover hotel, compensation is the same as for working in an urban city center.
Not mention OHIP funding in general is abysmal... I'm an internist in Southern Ontario. The amount we can bill for hospitalist work is so low, and the hours so long/stress so high that physicians keep leaving. I'd rather do locum work at this point, and have some say in my own work life balance, even if it means flying into another community for a week at a time. Our healthcare system is really floundering at this point, in my opinion. I understand why physicians are leaving Canada and going to the States. To my colleagues in rural/Northern areas... God bless you for what you do.
We as an IMG want to give back to Canada following long time stay in Canada. We commit to improve ourselves in case , if we find a nice way to get in. Then no doubt we can fill in, to serve communities with all our knowledge and strengths! God bless Canada!!
My in-law waited 21 hours in emergency at a Ottawa hospital. After midnight, only 1 doctor on shift. I guess having alcohol in every corner store is more important. 😢
I'm 67, in the GTA and I remember very well when I was a child, your family doctor would come to your home when you were sick. The doctor was like a family member. No comment on our Health care system now. Apparently everything is better these days than in the old days.
Waiting from 2 pm to 4 am to see a doctor in North Bay, a multi billion dollar hospital they built on a swamp in 2011 and it's sinking so we'll need a new one in a decade probably
Not much better in here in the new hospital in Oakville (50km south of Toronto), last month we took a coworker to hospital for a minor injury (just few stiches needed) @ 11 pm, they told him to go home & come back in the morning because the earliest anybody can see him will be 5 am!!
Same in Mississauga. I took my father to the ER. There was only one ER doctor on duty. We spent 24 hours in the ER. A lot of time was waiting for CT and ultrasound. The government spent all the money on building hospitals, but the real issue is doctors and staff shortage.
The "music" overlay is just irritating. When listening to a news report I want to hear the people in the report and feel no need for additional noise. Please consider not adding any extra noise to the report,.
Trust me it’s not just rural areas! I waited in the Mount Sinai hospital ER room, in the middle of due town Toronto, for 18 hours before a nurse showed up to take me for an X-ray if my sorely broken foot 😑😑😑 it’s so scary what’s happening to this country
I am going back to school to become a medical office assistant. Hopefully I can move to one of these smaller communities and lend a hand. I understand I wouldn’t be doing anything similar as a nurse, aid, or doctor. We need health care workers in all areas.
In Brampton I see people using the hospital for any little thing, we have free care its true but it is being highly misused. There should be a walk in clinic at every emergency so when you go through triage, they send people to and from clinics as required. If a walk in doctor deems it necessary for URGENT care, they can refer to the other section. This may be a good solution
Finally got a family doctor in July.....after searching and waiting on lists since 2018. All my healthcare was piecemealed and via ERs including a broken arm and what turned out to be a heart issue. Guess that would have been caught by a family physician earlier....if I had one, then maybe I would not have ended up in the ER via ambulance. Ford has sucked the life out of this province. He's a vampire.
Doug Ford might have to get rid of Medical bureaucrats and middle management and focus on front line workers. Not only put money into the system but a real true plan. You can put all kinds of money into a style but with no plan you will have low results.
I'm from nothern ontario and my friend is a doctor and wanted to go back home but the perks a hospital hiring committee offered him from the gta he could not refuse.. Another example my mom would have a 4 year wait for sleep clinic in sudbury ontario.. Pretty sad. Both federal and provincal government all.they want is the minerals in the ground.. trees out of the bush.. and a play and recreational center for people from the south.. Sad..
This is happening in Toronto also. I waited 6.5 hours to see a doctor. The first three were waiting to get an xray/ultrasound and then another 3.5 to find out I had torn my hamstring off my pelvic bone 5cm. Laying on the floor in the waiting room in excruciating pain. No pain meds, no bed. It was brutal torture tbh. Only one doctor on shift at Micheal Garron.
It is hard (very hard) to attract folks to remote or rural areas to live and work. Small towns need to attract folks to come and STAY. It isn't always about the money, quality of life and things to do play huge features in talent retention in small towns
All hospitals should have all equipment it’s ridiculous u have to overload towns and cities with ppl who have a working hospital in their own areas but they aren’t properly stocked with the right equipment This should be something they fix so it burdens the cities less All major cities should have specialists and proper facilities and workers to deal with the high amount of ppl
They quit mostly to the hours and pay. A family doctor can make $260,000/ year. Then they pay salaries and overhead plus 20 hours of paperwork. They end up with $60,000/ year. Not worth the schooling or responsibility.
I was told it will take me more than 3 years to get a family doctor here in BC!! Just register and wait only God knows when I will get one!!! Something seriously needs to be done in healthcare sector here in Canada. The healthcare staff are so stressed to an extent they don’t have a caring and kind heart to their patients, they just act like police and it’s understandable because of the work overload they are in. it is a astonishing situation for real.
This is the same reason why since 1977 the US congress enabled NPs and other GPs to bill medicare directly without Physician supervision to aid health care in rural states. But here we are in Canada 2024 with too much red tape getting worse access to primary care while our acute care services are overburdened with very long wait times.
People also just need to be looking after themselves better. This is not the case for everybody obviously, but people need to be living healthier lifestyles so as to not overburden these clinics/hospitals because of their lifestyles of excessive smoking, drinking or unhealthy eating/lack of activity. We need to be real on that issue. A lot of people have too much of an attitude of letting public healthcare look after them which hurts the people that really need to see a doctor/go to the hospital
Its so crazy that we have this problem yet we have tons of qualified candidates being rejected from medical school. I’ve now applied to medical school twice at the university of Ottawa once getting an interview and waitlisted and the second time being rejected prior to interview. Only thing that changed between applications was they changed the rules to give preference to people who attended an Ottawa high-school. I did not attend an Ottawa high-school due to my parents working in northern Ontario at the time of my schooling. I permanently live in Ottawa, have attended UOttawa, work for UOttawa, have a 4.0 gpa, thousands of volunteer hours and have little to no hope of getting into UOttawa as a result of these rules. Our system is broken, my dream is to do residency at UOttawa rural family med program but this won’t happen due to where I attended high-school. I’ve seen countless of my highly qualified peers be rejected from medical school as well it’s very unfortunate. Many of my peers who were accepted plan on moving out of Canada back to their home countries and won’t be contributing to our healthcare system when they are done… which will only keep this problem going.
Its good to hear stories, but there's little context. For example, no perspective provided to explain how the rural US has a worse hospital crisis that we do. Privatization is not a solution, which our politicians are all too eager to explore. We need to improve public health care in this country. Keep it public, and free.
I can't move anywhere else because I need to be close to my doctor and a hospital...I can't imagine having a real medical emergency and living out in the middle of nowhere
For doctors who are considering volunteering with Doctors Without Borders in poor countries in Africa and Asia, why not "volunteer" (you might even get paid) instead in the rural areas of your your home country, Canada?

When you increase your population you also have to increase access to medical care, Dr's etc. It's not rocket science it's purely underfunding and not hiring enough Dr's or training enough Dr's.
This is troubling. In smaller communities why is transport to a non emergency medical investigation done by the facilities only ambulance ? Totally understand if the person is admitted and requires it but for other tests in GTA it’s my responsibility to get there if Im stable, hospitals can’t run taxi services with limited resources.
@@joanseaton1709 It's in northern ontario, often forgotten about cause the south is like yall too north to be apart of our development initiatives and then the north shore of lake superior communities are like yall too south for our development initiatives
Easy solution is to offer more incentives to doctors in rural areas like tax breaks or to simply open up privatization of healthcare in communities that need it the most. Our government is incompetent when it comes to managing the healthcare system by only looking for cookie cutter solutions to these sorts of problems.
@CBCnews at minute 3 in your video you share a doctors phone number on the board behind … no too smart, I’m sure in this shortage of Dr. I don’t think this dr. Wants to get any direct calls from patients
It is very expensive to have full services, free of charge, for small communities across vast swaths of land with small populations. Our country is far too big, with population way too dense in some cities, and far too thin in other locations. Regardless of where you live, long wait times are guaranteed.
There's your "buck a beer" premier at "work" for us. He's MUCH more interested in making sure there are 30 packs in the grocery stores. The conservative running to run the country will take us back to medieval times as well.
This is caused by a "Mother knows best" government. Doctors waste hundreds, if not thousands of hours a year, on pointless nonsense like sick notes and regulations. It's my body and my choice. I know the risks of the medication I'm asking for, so hand it over and let me make my own choices. I broke my arm a few years ago, and the doctor was shining a light in my eyes. I asked, "Honestly, what could possibly be in my eye that would explain a broken arm.??" He said it's policy to check a patients eyes. Waste upon waste
Dude it’s all of Ontario Ottawa is bad too the waits r ridiculous U can’t find a family dr It’s just insane We need more workers and funding I get ford wants the health care to collapse so we pay private like the USA but either fix the health care system or just turn it into the USA already cause this limbo is harsh As long as theirs Medicaid for those who r poor and on disability then fine at this point we r all so desperate for some actual care and the ability to choose good drs That it’s whatever at this point I prefer our “free” model more but if this is what it’s going to be then fine switch to usa model

@@sarahgguwunonsense. Every Canadian who gets an inheritance will pay out the nose, all small business owners, and 100% of doctors will be impacted. Hence why doctors are leaving.
How is that? Do you have a clear understanding of how non-public healthcare works and what its costs are? Or do you vote for a party that underfunded public healthcare and votes against funding public healthcare and then blame Trudeau? Are you reviewing what you are voting for in-depth, or do you just think we work like America. You're blaming a party that votes to fund medical needs of the whole country but voting for partys that get rid of hospitals. Also, this is a look at Ontario's healthcare you blame the federal government but you actually need to blame the provincial government that's Doug Ford. You need to ask your self do you understand provincial and federal government?
@@codyeasonBGR Apparently a lot of people do not understand the responsibilities of the provincial and federal government, and blame Trudeau for everything. Don't get me wrong, I am sure he has much to blame for, but not Ontario health care. In fact, the federal government has increased funding to Ontario health care, it is Doug Ford not spending that money or spending it for something else. In the next election, Ford needs to be out, he has been in too many scandals to be trusted with power, anyone but just not him.
Ford has been cutting funding since 2018. Just restore the funding to what it used to be, and stop wasting money on beer contracts.
This has been happening much longer than Ford.
It's a country-wide problem. I guess Ford controls the whole of Canada.

Tbh US has more opportunity and benefits for healthcare worker plus ontario has high cost of living.
i didn't really NEED to see the needle part...yech
Importing millions from third world countries is overwhelming healthcare and other social services.
Easy solution is to offer more incentives to doctors in rural areas like tax breaks or to simply open up privatization of healthcare in communities that need it the most. Our government is incompetent when it comes to managing the healthcare system by only looking for cookie cutter solutions to these sorts of problems.
Sounds like Northern Ontario needs bike lanes.
lol 🤦♂️
bc is the same
So sad.
The People of Ontario and Canada are the ROI, yet they do not want to invest in us. Do Better, Be Better
Thanks Justin
Healthcare is provincial.
@CBCnews at minute 3 in your video you share a doctors phone number on the board behind … no too smart, I’m sure in this shortage of Dr. I don’t think this dr. Wants to get any direct calls from patients
It is very expensive to have full services, free of charge, for small communities across vast swaths of land with small populations. Our country is far too big, with population way too dense in some cities, and far too thin in other locations. Regardless of where you live, long wait times are guaranteed.
This is discusting
How dare you Maduro tell cops to kidnap woman whom is politician. God rebuke Maduro Tyranny.
There's your "buck a beer" premier at "work" for us. He's MUCH more interested in making sure there are 30 packs in the grocery stores. The conservative running to run the country will take us back to medieval times as well.
Sickening!
But the liberals are here for you!! They understand your struggle, lol😅😅
It's partly real budget constraints and a plan to depopulate rural areas across this country.
This is caused by a "Mother knows best" government. Doctors waste hundreds, if not thousands of hours a year, on pointless nonsense like sick notes and regulations. It's my body and my choice. I know the risks of the medication I'm asking for, so hand it over and let me make my own choices. I broke my arm a few years ago, and the doctor was shining a light in my eyes. I asked, "Honestly, what could possibly be in my eye that would explain a broken arm.??" He said it's policy to check a patients eyes. Waste upon waste
We need more Indians to revive those cities
Dude it’s all of Ontario
Ottawa is bad too the waits r ridiculous
U can’t find a family dr
It’s just insane
We need more workers and funding
I get ford wants the health care to collapse so we pay private like the USA but either fix the health care system or just turn it into the USA already cause this limbo is harsh
As long as theirs Medicaid for those who r poor and on disability then fine at this point we r all so desperate for some actual care and the ability to choose good drs
That it’s whatever at this point
I prefer our “free” model more but if this is what it’s going to be then fine switch to usa model
You voted Trudeau in so reap what you sew
Yup central Ontario,in laws were so many hrs. just sitting,it’s every where Need to encourage our young people to go to school for nursing and letting our own Canadian kids actually get to become doctors in our OWN COUNTRY,HELLO UNIVERSITIES,GOVERNMENT,KNOW OF TWO VERY SMART GUYS IN IRELAND GOING TO SCHOOL BECAUSE CANADA PUT STUDENTS FROM OTHER COUNTRY FIRST TO OUR EDUCATION
cut the red tape. Get red seal certified doctors from aboard.
Lol the masks
Trudeau’s Canada
Capital gains tax increase is federal.
@@sarahgguwunonsense. Every Canadian who gets an inheritance will pay out the nose, all small business owners, and 100% of doctors will be impacted. Hence why doctors are leaving.
@@sarahgguwudon’t forget all corporations are now taxed at higher rate.
And yet people keep voting conservative in Ontario...
Because of labour shortage we are paying so much money to RN!
"Free" healthcare is working great. Lol
@@codechartreuse We don't dump people on the streets
welcome to the wonderful world of Trudeau/ That Lib/NDP coalition is super duper grand/
How is that? Do you have a clear understanding of how non-public healthcare works and what its costs are? Or do you vote for a party that underfunded public healthcare and votes against funding public healthcare and then blame Trudeau? Are you reviewing what you are voting for in-depth, or do you just think we work like America. You're blaming a party that votes to fund medical needs of the whole country but voting for partys that get rid of hospitals. Also, this is a look at Ontario's healthcare you blame the federal government but you actually need to blame the provincial government that's Doug Ford. You need to ask your self do you understand provincial and federal government?
Ford is the one in charge of public healthcare spending in the province. Hes directly responsible for this crisis.
@@codyeasonBGR Apparently a lot of people do not understand the responsibilities of the provincial and federal government, and blame Trudeau for everything. Don't get me wrong, I am sure he has much to blame for, but not Ontario health care. In fact, the federal government has increased funding to Ontario health care, it is Doug Ford not spending that money or spending it for something else. In the next election, Ford needs to be out, he has been in too many scandals to be trusted with power, anyone but just not him.
Not everything is Federal failure. The feds send the money and Doug spends it in the courts defending his crimes against the province
@@codyeasonBGRyes, but do you also understand that our federal govt is partly to blame?
When I was young I thought emergency workers were tough and strong, now I realize that they are just pretending to be tough for others.
